Communication Error With Virtual Disk Server
contains general issues and specific bugs concerning the LDoms 1.3 software. General Issues This section describes general known issues about this release of LDoms software that are broader than a specific bug number. Workarounds are provided where available. Service Processor and System Controller Are Interchangeable Terms For discussions in Logical Domains documentation, the terms service processor (SP) and system controller (SC) are interchangeable. Cards Not Supported The following cards are not supported for this LDoms 1.3 software release: Sun Dual Port 4x IB Host Channel Adapter PCI-X Card Dual Port 4x PCI EXPRESS Infiniband Host Channel Adapter - Low Profile Caution – If these unsupported configurations are used with LDoms 1.3, stop and unbind all logical domains before the control domain is rebooted. Failure to do so can result in a system crash causing the loss of all the logical domains that are active in the system. In Certain Conditions, a Guest Domain's SVM Configuration or Metadevices Can Be Lost If a service domain is running a version of Solaris 10 OS prior to Solaris 10 10/09 and is exporting a physical disk slice as a virtual disk to a guest domain, then this virtual disk will appear in the guest domain with an inappropriate device ID. If that service domain is then upgraded to Solaris 10 10/09, the physical disk slice exported as a virtual disk will appear in the guest domain with no device ID. This removal of the device ID of the virtual disk can cause problems to applications attempting to reference the device ID of virtual disks. In particular, this can cause the Solaris Volume Manager (SVM) to be unable to find its configuration or to access its metadevices. Workaround: After upgrading a service domain to Solaris 10 10/09, if a guest domain is unable to find its SVM configuration or its metadevices, execute the following procedure. Find a Guest Domain's SVM Configuration or Metadevices Boot the guest domain. Disable the devid feature of SVM by adding the following lines to the /kernel/dr/md.conf file: md_devid_destroy=1; md_keep_repl_state=1; Reboot the guest domain. After the domain has booted, the SVM configuration and metadevices should be available. Check the SVM configuration and ensure that it is correct. Re-enable the SVM devid feature by removing from the /kernel/drv/md.conf file the two lines that you added in Step 2. Reboot the guest domain. During the reboot, you will see messages similar to this: NOTICE: mddb: unable to get devid for 'vdc', 0x10 These messages are normal and do not report any problems.
